Preview in Seoul Seoul

Preview in Seoul is more than an international trade fair – it is recognized as the central innovation platform for the entire textile value chain in South Korea and Asia. Each year, it opens its doors at the renowned COEX Convention and Exhibition Center in the heart of Seoul, attracting professionals, industry leaders, and trendsetters from around the world. The name “Preview” stands for the exclusive opportunity to gain early insight into the latest innovations and developments in the textile and fashion industry.

The event is organized by the Korea Federation of Textile Industries (KOFOTI), one of the country’s most important industry associations, which plays a key role in driving the internationalization and transformation of the South Korean textile industry. Under the motto “Innovation for Sustainability,” Preview in Seoul places a special emphasis on forward-looking and sustainable solutions for the textile sector. The event clearly demonstrates how innovative technologies and sustainable approaches are shaping the future of the industry – from high-tech fibers and eco-friendly textiles to specialty and recycled yarns, as well as modern production methods and digital textile machinery.

A distinctive feature of the fair is its integration of digital and sustainable topics. Visitors gain direct insight into current advancements such as digital textile printing, 3D simulation, and AI-powered design tools. The program is further enhanced by expert seminars, trend forums, and interactive presentations, providing opportunities for exchange with industry specialists. Networking events, an integrated job fair, and exclusive factory tours create ideal conditions for making new contacts, whether for young professionals or experienced experts. Exhibitors range from leading textile and fashion companies to pioneers in mechanical engineering, digital technologies, and sustainable future solutions.

Preview in Seoul embodies the dynamic spirit of innovation found in the South Korean capital, which is considered a global hub for design, fashion, and technology. The event primarily attracts decision-makers from design, procurement, production, and marketing who are seeking new materials, technologies, and business partners.

The COEX Convention and Exhibition Center impresses with its state-of-the-art infrastructure, spacious exhibition areas, and excellent public transport connections. Numerous hotels, restaurants, and cultural attractions are located nearby. As such, Preview in Seoul is far more than a trade fair – it offers a unique experience and is a must-attend event for anyone looking to actively shape the future of the textile industry.
